Marriage Licenses

[NarrowPathPilgrim]

Hello,
My church is having a wedding this week, and the couple plans on obtaining a marriage license, so I wrote up an article on marriage licenses and why I am so opposed to them.
Having written it*, I thought that I might as well post it here for the edification of other Christians!

Good info! Thanks for the effort.

I got a chuckle out of the last words "both parties should be executed". Good thing you are not a 501(c)(3) "church"! lol.

Not for accepting a marriage license, but for being sodomites.

Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Yeah, the church that I go to is not 501(c)(3), but they still plan on getting a marriage license. But we will see, I may be able to convince them otherwise!

Sincerely,
Zach Doty

I just stumbled upon this pamplet from the Washington Bar: "Marriage, What You Should Know." Very interesting that they flatly declare that signing marriage certificate is a contract with the state. Images attached.

At center of the Document, below all the print, on the Marriage licence in my wife's possession. From Washington State, we signed in June of 1975 are printed the words "THIS IS A CONTRACT"

Does all this hopla about a contract mean that it is a contract? Look to the definition of contract, it fails in so many cases that it goes beyond the point of ridiculous.

Zach, but I note that there are quotes from several cites that contain some
technical legal problems; ie, the cite that quotes the court using the word "individual"
which is all know is the agent-representative of a PERSON; therfore, were I
doing as you did, I'd skip over and not use that particular opinion in support
of your paper.

Without Prejudice.
I might have mentioned this in another post. However, you might find this even more informative.

In the civil law, the marriage is considered to be a for-profit venture or profit-making venture (even though it may never actually produce a profit in operation) and as the wife goes out to the local market to purchase food stuffs and other supplies for the marriage household, she is replenishing the stocks of the business. To restate: In the civil law, the marriage is considered to be a business venture, that is, a for-profit business venture. Moreover, as children come into the marriage household, the business venture is considered to have "borne fruit."[article]

FT, that quote is disgustingly true.
